Import Tips
• Ensure yarn count and staple length specs match synthetic staple definitions to avoid reclassification
• Provide invoices showing retail put-up (e.g
• under 5kg per unit) to differentiate from duty-free bulk under 5509
• Watch for flammability testing requirements if marketed for baby items, per CPSC standards
